Arousing concern amongst Senate Republicans.

Who in their right minds can continue to support a man who believes himself above the law, thus untouchable, to continue on as POTUS? Their linking themselves to him is proving dangerous to their political futures. Good!

AS the saying goes..."You go to bed with DOGS, you wake up with fleas."

Maybe it will turn out to be correct.

"If Trump Does it, It's Not Illegal"

I think even the SCOTUS (save Brett Kavanaugh) wouldn't agree with that argument

They're just not articulating their intentions to the public as they have in the past.

They know their colleagues in the House are about to attempt to conduct a shadow impeachment, where the purported villains of Democratic lore - Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Nancy Pelosi, et al. - will be subpoenaed for crimes having nothing to do with Trump or his litany of malfeasances. This will be a trial by FOX intended to obfuscate, confuse and enrage the Democrats, and to pave the path for a no impeachment vote by the Senate.

You know it's what they're going to do.

it would have to concern Israel, not the Ukraine.

clowns to protect himself and his fortune. He could care less if tRump is the biggest crook in the WH. Moscow Mitch has a lucrative business deal with a Russian oligarch, and NOBODY is going to get in the way of that. USA be damned, Moscow Mitch puts himself and his money above all else. Sadly, the gop seems oblivious to his manipulations. How is the investigation into his wife going?

thousands of Ukrainians by withholding military aid and millions of Americans by endangering our national security doesn't.

Got it.

They make me sick.

They have no morals. Hypocrites!

I was listening rather than watching so I don’t know who said this, but the comment was that Republicans are waiting until the November 5 election results to gauge Democratic support. They’re watching two elections especially: the governor of Kentucky and the race in Virginia. If Democrats win, it could cause some Republicans to change their stance. They’re more worried about holding on to the Senate than holding on to the presidency because with a Senate majority they can just stifle any serious policy changes as they did with Obama.

... expect him to win anyway because the voting there is way dirty. His win in 2015 was
very suspect.

Especially those who are standing for election. Considering the seriousness of the charges, they run the risk of looking like the partisan hacks they are if they it blow off. They need Trump's base, yes, but most of them will need more than that to win reelection. I'm sure not a few of them are nervously doing the math and will tread a little lightly. I suspect that they will be considering their gravy trains, and not what is fundamentally just, but they will be considering.

Essentially Clinton lied about a consenting sexual relationship in a deposition. Yes, that is perjury. It was also a private lawsuit brought against Clinton. Not trying to excuse it, just trying to add context.

Trump used his position as president to bride/blackmail another country's leader by withholding federal aid (approved by Congress) unless said leader agreed to open a criminal investigation into one of his political opponents (who also happens to be our country's former vice president).

I don't see how Republicans, especially those who are leftovers from the Senate in 98-99, can do anything but vote to convict. They are essentially saying lying about a blow job is worse that putting our national security in harm's way.

Graham, who was in the House, and McConnell, who was in the Senate, were very much in favor of convicting and removing Clinton. So let's start there.

Just another proof that the traitor is working for Putin

If shorty Putin wants to stop that Ukraine funding, approved by our US elected representatives, you can bet the traitor will stop that funding.

Putin is the actual leader of the US. Those RepubliCON Senators will never, ever vote to impeach Trump because Putin has already told them how to vote.

The Senate Repugs are pretending to be open-minded because it looks better politically.

But it doesn't matter how serious the charges are, or how strong the evidence is -- They're going to protect Trump regardless.

This is just a pretense.
